51: Ru Yan came to ask for a poem title.
When scanning Cangfeng Residence, Leng Yue's Divine Sense suddenly halted.
She probed towards a room where heat was rising.
With just one glance, she abruptly retracted her Divine Sense.
The next second, two blushes crept up her cheeks.
Seeing Leng Yue suddenly blush, Xia Yuan frowned inwardly: "Second Mistress, did you find anything?"
Leng Yue suppressed the panic in her heart and shook her head, saying: "I didn't detect their Qi. Could they have already returned?"
"I have already sent messages to ask; they haven't returned."
Xia Yuan said, tentatively adding: "Second Mistress, how about..."
Leng Yue's expression sank: "What, do you not trust me?"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
Xia Yuan waved his hands hurriedly: "It's just that the three children are the treasures of our hearts. If we don't confirm it ourselves, we truly cannot rest easy."
Leng Yue frowned and was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Except for Third Mistress's place, the residences of The Black and White Elders and the three Grand Elders, as well as the back mountain, you may scan other places."
Xia Yuan immediately showed joy: "Thank you, Second Mistress!"
The three exchanged glances and immediately spread their Divine Sense, carefully sweeping through every corner of the Gu Clan.
But not long after, they looked at each other again, their eyes filled with nothing but disappointment.
They still could not find anyone.
Seeing this, Leng Yue spoke: "They cannot enter the places I mentioned. Perhaps they are still on the way back. You should go back and wait for now."
The three had no other choice and could only agree.
"Second Mistress, then we shall take our leave."
Leng Yue waved her hand.
The three, Xia Yuan and the others, turned and left.
As for the funeral of the Ninth Elder, whether they attended or not was unimportant.
If they had a good relationship, they might stay, but their relationship with the Ninth Elder was only average. Now, eager to find their daughters, they wanted to return early.
Leng Yue watched the three leave, her expression stalling. The scene from Cangfeng Residence flashed uncontrollably through her mind, and two blushes crept up her cheeks once again.
"Strange, why do I keep thinking of Bu'er?"
She frowned inwardly, feeling that she had become somewhat strange lately, and even her thoughts had become much more active than before.
Outside Cangfeng Residence.
Su Li arrived with Liu Ruyan.
Just as they arrived outside the courtyard, they saw the Maidservants' cheeks were flushed, while the guards were secretly glancing at the Maidservants. The scene seemed strange.
As the two approached, the Maidservants and guards quickly straightened up and saluted: "Greetings, Third Mistress."
Su Li nodded, her gaze sweeping over everyone's strange expressions, and asked: "What is wrong with you all?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman's voice came from inside the courtyard.
Su Li understood instantly.
She looked at Liu Ruyan calmly, only to see that two blushes had already crept onto the other's face.
This made her somewhat puzzled. According to her understanding of Liu Ruyan, this woman knew nothing about bedroom matters, so why would she blush?
Su Li did not know that the Liu Ruyan before her was a Reincarnation expert. Although she had never lost her virginity, she had heard of such things, so how could she not understand?
If it were just hearing the sound, Liu Ruyan would not have been like this. The key was that she couldn't help but use her Divine Sense to investigate earlier, and she happened to see the most critical moment.
"Who among you will go and notify Cao Bu, and tell him that the Empress and I are looking for him for something?"
Su Li ordered immediately.
The Maidservants looked at each other, and no one moved first.
Su Li frowned and said: "Who is the Big Maidservant?"
In the crowd, a Maidservant said timidly: "The Big Maidservant... is inside serving Hall Master Cao."
As soon as these words fell, the Maidservants' faces turned even redder.
Ever since Yan Ruyu came, she had become their Big Maidservant and was also responsible for taking care of Cao Bu's daily life.
"Then you go and call him out."
Su Li ordered the Maidservant directly.
"Yes, Third Mistress."
After saluting, the Maidservant turned around, but just as she took a step, a sound came from inside the courtyard again.
Her footsteps paused, and she looked at Su Li.
Su Li's expression sank instantly.
This Cao Bu was truly lawless.
She immediately emphasized her tone: "No matter what he is doing, call him out immediately."
The Maidservant was helpless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside to interrupt Cao Bu.
Not long after, Cao Bu followed the Maidservant out.
Seeing Su Li and Liu Ruyan, he saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Greetings, Empress; greetings, Adoptive Mother."
Straightening up, he asked: "Adoptive Mother, if you have important business, you could have just ordered me to go to Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard. How could I dare trouble you to come here yourself?"
Su Li turned to the side, looked at Liu Ruyan, and said slowly: "Ruyan is leaving. Before she leaves, there is something she wants to find you for."
Hearing this, Cao Bu hurriedly stepped aside to clear the way, his tone respectful: "So it is the Empress who has arrived. Please, come in."
Liu Ruyan glanced at Cao Bu calmly, but always felt that this person gave her a sense of unreality.
But she could not say exactly what was wrong.
She stopped overthinking it, stepped forward with her long, snow-white jade legs, and walked into Cangfeng Residence first, with Su Li following closely behind, and Cao Bu walking at the end.
After entering the reception hall, Cao Bu ordered Yan Ruyu: "Xiaoyu, brew two cups of tea."
Liu Ruyan interrupted: "No need."
She scanned Yan Ruyu, seeing through her background at a glance.
This woman had extraordinary talent and had the opportunity to become a Quasi-Emperor.
Yet now she was working for Cao Bu here, and had even given her body to Cao Bu; it was truly strange.
Cao Bu waved his hand, and Yan Ruyu bowed and left.
"I wonder what the Empress wishes to ask?"
Cao Bu asked, knowing the answer.
Liu Ruyan did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Cao Bu, does the poem you composed that night have a name?"
